Words by @sharkgirlmadison ... "The recent loss of a diver in Costa Rica after an incident involving a bite from a tiger shark is a tragedy. It should act as a reminder of something we have all forgotten. We make encounters look beautiful and still, in most parts of the ocean, sharks are not under our control. There is nothing wrong with being truthful about the dangerous potential of sharks... It won't hurt our conservation efforts to embrace caution that we need to have, and if it were less taboo to talk about the attacks, perhaps we could be avoiding them. We need to give certain animals in certain situations space, and never teach that the beautiful calm clear encounters we have are the foundation for all interactions. The ocean is not always a safe place for us, but entering it with ignorance is the biggest danger." @discoversharks
